There are those of us here who are big fans of Chrysler products. We pride ourselves on being Americans supporting America.
The Dodge Viper was a good car but just about everything else had an awful interior and not much else to show for it. I liked the exterior of the Magnum, 300C and Charger but I vomited in my mouth every time I saw that god awful interior with the same blocky steering wheel in each car. If everyone had the mentality that people would buy American just because it was American then we'd be in a deeper crapper then we're in now. I don't care who made it, I want the better product and hopefully it will motivate American companies to do better to win sales.

There is a reason why Toyota and Honda are known for their quality and Chrysler is known for the crap they produce. You're more than welcome to support an inferior product but most people won't.
Acutally, poor ME because I love an mature intelligent respectful debate. It often proves highly beneficial to hear others' views. Such debates are few and far between in many of these forums, as you are a prime example of the reason. Moving on.....
This is better for the dealerships that remain, as they will see more sales, and thus possibly having a chance to better establish themselves in their communities (so long as they generate profits).
I do agree about the Chrysler interiors though. Most of them contain more than enough hard plastic. Also, of the engines aren't strong enough to support their cars (A V6 in a Commander? Why even produce it?) Their products do seem to be getting better, especially the 2011 Grand Cherokee. The 2011 Chrysler 300 interior looks to be promising as well.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does it seem like Chrysler had this bankruptcy thing planned out already? I mean sure the CEO was saying Chrysler will do everything it can to avoid bankruptcy, but I found it interesting that they just skipped over the 2010 model year.
Anyway, Chrysler and GM have to downsize. They don't hold as near as large a marketshare as they did about 30 years ago. When they sell less cars, less dealerships are needed.
